This thing is incredible, especially for the low price. You can have either 8 stereo or 8 mono inputs. The stereo inputs are a normal headphone out jack which is TRS. The other end I use a Y cable left & right into my the synths. With a single mono output I use a TS cable into the mixer. The sound comes out in the middle and not panned to one side. This mixer is solid, well built and extremely quiet. I heard a tiny bit of noise but found out I had the volume on both the input gain and headphone out at full volume. The noise was actually coming from my Korg Volca Drum Cannot comment on longevity of the unit but at the time of writing this I am extremely happy with my purchase.

The user manual is not very clear but the 8 channel mixer is excellent. You get 2 stereo outputs, each with 4 dedicated stereo inputs. Channels 1-4 and 5-8 each send to different outputs or all 8 can be sent to both outputs. This means you can use one of the outputs for headphones monitoring all 8 inputs or 2 separate devices can each have 4 stereo inputs. Extremely versatile. There's plenty of gain with low noise and whole thing is USB powered. I'm buying a second unit.

Knocked off a star as the first one was doa. Had to send it back. This could be an issue with QC standards in the manufacturing process. Ordered another the very same day and arrived in the mail the next. Hats off to Amazon for the quick delivery. 1. Build: Sturdy metal. Can presumably take a fall without breaking into two but unsure if its internals wont be rearranged if it did. Looks bigger in pictures but I was surprised that its really small and fits snugly under my synth stand and I can grab it with my hand and have a few fingers wrapped around too. Knobs are okay and looks like need breaking in but after the first time give way and become less tighter. 2. Architecture: As it says on the tin. I went for the 8ch variant. 8 mono which can be converted to 8 stereo channels with the push of a button (havent experimented yet but should be able to take 16 mono in stereo mode if receiving split signals, theoretically). Output A serves the top 4 channels. Output B serves the bottom 4 channels. The Mix button replicates the outputs across A and B. 3. Thoughts: Overall a good mixer. Low noise using the same usb cable as supplied and connected to my Sampler's USB port through a non powered hub. I am primarily using this to connect all my synths, ipad, zynthian into my sampler as it has only 2 inputs. 4. To consider if planning to use with synths: I planned on using this with my synths to play and record them stereophonically on my sampler. The guide mentions that you should use 1/4" TRS to TRS Male cables for stereo sound from your hardware to the mixer. But most of my synths have separate L and R channels with 1/4" outs and the stereo out (usually headphone) is a 1/8" mini port. So I went for bi directional Dual Mono TS to TRS cables (all 1/4" on both sides) to combine mono synth outputs into a stereo signal at the TRS end which would then go into my mixer. I haven't been able to make this work using this simple logic. IDK but maybe instead of preserving the stereo image at the mixer end the cables simply sum up the L and R of my synths. Also there is no documentation of whether or not the outputs are balanced mono unbalanced stereo and expect TRS jacks for conveying sound into outboard/external gear. Hope someone knows the answer and can help me out with this.

There is a complete dearth of products of this kind at this price point. I don’t want a full size mixer or a hobbyist’s toy. This meets all my requirements. It’s made of metal so it’s quite sturdy. It runs off a USB power supply so it could be run using a power bank. It takes 8 (8!) inputs switchable from mono to stereo and allows two outputs. And it’s compact so it’s not taking up valuable space in my studio.

I've only had this for 10 mins. I've now got my digital piano hooked up to PC, phones etc so I can write piano covers without disturbing my neighbour or paying $$ for sheet music. I bought 8 channel because 1) USB-c is sturdier than mini-USB, 2) description didn't make stereo/mono clear so if I needed to run L-R on separate channels, I had capacity, and 3) I can add second keyboard for strings. Everything I wanted! Only negative I can find ATM - no on/off button. Ha ha.

This is a very handy and useful piece of kit. Powered by an old phone charger since one isn't supplied, it has multiple inputs which can be switched in or out, and faded up or down. I have multiple sources that I need to process and this has proven to be a very useful tool for me. I recommend it if you want to mix audio from several inputs to one or two outputs. Audio quality is great I would say

Nice little line mixer with one little niggle I've worked out.

This is a low cost mixer unit with 8 stereo inputs and 2 stereo outputs. It is small and easy to transport, using standard 5V USB power supplies. It produces good sound with no noticeable hiss or hum. It is possible to which all inputs/outputs from stereo to mono and this provides a large range of options for connecting instruments and sound sources. Would recommend.

Very Good!

Fa il suo dovere, ha il minimo indispensabile, non ha controlli eccetto quelli di volume, ma è l’ideale per chi ha il solo problema di inviare un certo numero di sorgenti sonore mono o stereo ad un unico amplificatore spendendo poco.

Excelente calidad, muy limpio y robusto

Schöner kleiner Stereo-Mixer, perfekt für das Home-Studio oder für Podcasts. Wenn die Eingänge in Stereo benutzt werden, müssen die Outputs auch Stereo sein ! (Ich hab da mal ein Erklärungsbild gemacht), Wenn der Output-Schalter gedrück ist, wird der Gesamtpegel herabgesetzt (nur ein bisschen) aber der Vorteil ist: die A und B Stereo-Out's können separat geregelt werden. Gut zum Vorhören mit einem Kopfhörer, der direkt am Output angeschlossen ist. Der Pegel ist auf jeden Fall ok und laut genug. Fazit: Top, Kleiner Preis, Kleine Baugröße - hatte schon lange nach so-etwas gesucht.

I didn't have the space for a massive desktop audio mixer in my primitive multi-synth setup until I saw this. I plugged everything in and it just works and takes up minimal space. Perfect!
